The Iraq war is more popular now than it was at its height in 2008, when 63 percent of Americans said the war was a mistake. At the beginning of the war, 75 percent of Americans said sending troops to Iraq was not a mistake.

Gallup found that half of those ages 18 to 29 believe the war was a mistake, while 48 percent said the opposite. Among those older than 65, the poll showed 59 percent believe it was a mistake and 36 percent do not.

The poll of 1,022 adults was conducted from March 7 to March 10. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
